HOW IS KENYA FINANCING UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE?
The government has taken major steps in reforming the health system. Through the five-year “Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda” (commonly known as BETA), the government has committed to delivering a universal health coverage (UHC) system built on three pillars:
Publicly financed primary health care (through a Primary Health Care Fund), universal health insurance (also known as social health insurance), and a publicly financed national fund to cover costs for chronic, critical, and emergency illness and injury that are not covered by social health insurance (through the Emergency, Chronic, and Critical Illness (ECCI) Fund)
